The Complete History of Leonardo DiCaprio's Model-Filled Love Life

If you've ever been skeptical about the idea of having a romantic "type," consider Leonardo DiCaprio. Over the course of his 45 years on the planet, he's been involved in high-profile relationships with the likes of Gisele Bündchen and rumored to romance Rihanna. But his dating stats tend to speak for themselves: typically younger, blonde, and no stranger to a Victoria's Secret runway. Now, he's dating 23-year-old Camila Morrone, a model/actress to whom he's been linked since 2017. As the Oscar winner's bachelor status hangs in the balance, relive his model behavior.

Bridget Hall

According to a 1998 gossip item in The London Sun, Leo dumped the model—his very first!—after a "night of love" she found disappointing. (They had been seen "canoodling around New York" in 1994, Peoplereports.) Bridget told New York Magazine in 1998 that "nothing happened" between them.

Kristen Zang, a model who dated Leo for two years (1996-1998), accompanied the actor to the premiere of Romeo + Juilet. Although a source told The New York Daily Newsthat Kristenwas "the love of his life," she dumped him because of his immaturity and "posse of young model-hounds."

The daughter of singer John Phillips, Bijou dated Leo in 1998. He connected her with her first big Hollywood director James Toback, who cast Bijou in his film Black and White. Things ended with Leo, and she moved on with costar Elijah Wood.

Eva Herzigova

Leo reportedly dated Victoria's Secret model Eva Herzigova in 1998. Their month-long affair was unconfirmed, perhaps because Herzigova was married to Bon Jovi drummer Tico Torres at the time.

Gisele Bündchen

Before Tom Brady, Gisele Bündchen dated Leo for five years, but ended it in 2005. "We were just not meant to be boyfriend and girlfriend, but I respect him enormously, and I wish him nothing but the best," she told Vanity Fair in 2009.

She reflected on the relationship a decade later to PORTER. Bündchen opened up about struggling with panic attacks before making a lifestyle change. "No longer numbing myself with smoking, drinking and too much work, I was becoming more and more aware of things that I'd chosen not to look at," she wrote in her book, Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life. "Was I alone in wanting to do some serious soul-searching while he stayed the same? In the end, unfortunately, the answer was yes."

However, in 2017 Gossip Girl executive producer Joshua Safran gave Vanity Faira strange bit of trivia regarding the exes. “When I think about shooting the L.A. episodes, Blake was dating [DiCaprio] at the time, and she had this thing where she had a doll that she took photos of that she sent to Leo," Safran said. "Blake was way ahead of the curve. It was pre-Instagram. She was documenting her life in photographs in a way that people were not yet doing.”

Madalina Ghenea

After Leo's breakup with Blake, the actor was rumored to have briefly dated model Madalina Ghenea. They met while he was shooting The Great Gatsby in Australia.

Leo dated the 23-year-old Victoria's Secret model Toni Garrn for more than a year, beginning in May 2013. They broke up in 2014. Tabloids claimed Leo being seen leaving a Miami nightclub with 20 women contributed to the split. The pair briefly rekindled things in 2017 before Garrn got engaged to actor Alex Pettyfer in 2019.

Leo began dating Kelly Rohrbach, a former prep schooler, D1 golfer, Georgetown University grad, and yes, Sports Illustrated model, in the spring of 2015. In June, they were kissing on Citi Bikes. There were even rumors of an engagement! But Kelly and Leo didn't last: by the beginning of 2016, they had broken up.

Rihanna

Leo and Rihanna apparently shared a "flirtatious" night in a Paris club in January 2016, though tabloids reported the two had a fling going on long before. They were rumored to be dating in February 2015. Rihanna denied it then—she was too busy to date anyone—but said if she had the time, her guy "would have to be man enough to live with my schedule and not get scared." ...Leo?

Laura Whitmore

At the 2016 BAFTAs, Leo reportedly "plucked" Irish TV presenter Laura Whitmore out of an after-party crowd and was "all over her." (One source said he even invited her back to his hotel room.) Laura coyly addressed the rumor in Hello!, telling the outlet, "everyone was just having fun–there was a lot of dancing."

Shortly after, Leo was spotted with another 23-year-old brunette model (go figure), Georgia Fowler. Photos emerged of the pair getting close at a Cannes Film Festival party. However, romance rumors with the model, who previously dated Harry Styles, died down.

Lorena Rae

In August 2017, Leo was linked to 23-year-old model Lorena Rae. They were spotted on several globe-trotting outings from partying in Monaco and yachting in St. Tropez to riding Citi bikes in NYC. (Stars, they really are just like us.) At the time, Leo's rep denied the duo was dating and rumors eventually quieted down.

Camila Morrone

As of 2020, Leo is getting "pretty serious" with actress/model Camila Morrone. The couple was first spotted together in December 2017 while shopping at Barney's in Los Angeles. The more than two-decade age gap between Morrone, 22, and DiCaprio, 45, has led some to question their relationship. But she later told the Los Angeles Times, "There's so many relationships in Hollywood—and in the history of the world—where people have large age gaps," adding, "I just think anyone should be able to date who they want to date.”
